Excerpt from The Teaching of English Classics in the Grammar Grades: Suggestions for Study, Questions, and Subjects for Written Exercises on Standard LiteratureWhen now the teacher has determined in his own mind the motif of the author in the literature to be read and has come to appreciate its beauty, he is ready to teach it. This teaching should be for the most part in the large. Too much dissection may produce a hatred rather than a love for the piece. At the same time the full beauty of thought and ex pression can only be appreciated by an examination of the details of the piece. The smaller divisions are to be related to the larger whole. Words, figures, allusions, will all con tribute their cooperative functions and the whole will finally come to exist as a unit; its separate coordinating parts and its beauty and elaboration of detail will contribute to the harmony and perfection of this unit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
